Tyrannical Tiger versus Tiger-Intent Human

Chapter 49

As fear overwhelmed Ray, the big tiger slowly advanced toward him. Whether intentional or not, each of the tiger's footsteps was deliberate, exuding a powerful momentum.

Ray sensed the tiger's growing strength like a snowball increasing in size as time passed.

Sssttt

A gentle breeze carried a crimson mist that emanated from the tiger's body. With a psychopathic smile, piercing gaze, confident strides, and a tyrannical presence, the visual impact made Ray shiver to his core.

Unbeknownst to himself, Ray instinctively scooted backward due to his fear. Perhaps it was Ray's perception, but the approaching tiger seemed to grow larger and more majestic.

A proud glimmer appeared on the tiger's face as it observed Ray's trembling. It seemed to mock Ray, asserting its superiority.

Believing it had toyed with Ray enough, the colossal tiger tensed the muscles in its legs, preparing to pounce.

"Hrrr Roar!"

The tiger drew closer, airborne and ready to unleash its force upon Ray. Fear distorted Ray's expression, giving him an ugly visage.

Just as the tiger reached its optimal striking distance, prepared to deliver a devastating blow, an unexpected smirk emerged from the corner of Ray's face.

Ray's change in expression and mood was swift, almost like the flip of a hand.

This abrupt transformation sent a shiver down the tiger's spine. It feared making a mistake, but being mid-air, it couldn't halt its movement.

The tiger's massive eyes beheld the figure of Ray, surrounded by red and white clouds, emanating an aura no weaker than its own.

Initially, the tiger felt a sense of unease, but upon witnessing Ray's extraordinary manifestation, it realized it had become entangled in danger.

Bang!

Ray took the initiative, extending his claws toward the airborne tiger. Three deep wounds marred the tiger's neck. However, due to its constitution being more tenacious than its peers, it managed to survive.

Seizing the opportunity, the airborne tiger extended its muscles, reaching out for Ray.

Caught off guard, Ray, on the verge of landing, was completely unprepared. He had assumed the tiger would either die or at least suffer a severe fall.

He never expected this turn of events.

The tiger effortlessly embraced Ray with all four legs, and the two beings tumbled and rolled on the ground.

Seeking revenge, the tiger aimed its sturdy jaws at Ray's neck, ready to tear into him.

Ray trembled in horror, envisioning the immense jaws brushing against his neck, obliterating him in an instant.

With his limbs entangled and immobilized, except for his head, Ray wracked his brain. Both his empty corridors had been activated simultaneously, leaving him devoid of other strategies against the tiger.

In his anxious state, Ray struggled to think clearly, his mind fixated on the impending threat of the tiger's jaws.

At that crucial moment, a flash of inspiration illuminated Ray's mind.

"Grrrr... Horrrre!"

A grunting sound reminiscent of a tiger echoed, but to his surprise, the snarl did not come from the enormous tiger. It emanated from Ray, the human.

"Hahahahah! Don't think that only you can bite! I can bite too!" Ray shouted like a madman.

The big tiger was taken aback when it witnessed the hairless monkey, Ray, behaving like one of its kind.

Without hesitation, Ray followed through with his promised bite, landing it on the tiger's thick and massive neck. The contrast between Ray's jaw and the tiger's neck was striking, like a kitten biting a tiger's neck.

Ray was unsure if his action would be effective, but at this stage, he could only attack desperately.

"Groooooo, bite!"

Ray's teeth sank deeper into the tiger's neck. As a result, a warm red liquid gushed out, resembling a leaking water pipe.

Fortunately for Ray, his gamble paid off, and his human teeth pierced deeply into the tiger's neck.

The tiger convulsed and loosened its grip on Ray slightly. Sensing this, Ray seized the opportunity and quickly freed himself.

At this point, the tiger paid no attention to Ray's actions. It was merely confused and dazed, unable to comprehend how a monkey could bite with such strength.

Subsequently, the tiger convulsed and writhed in agony. It seemed that the crucial blood vessels had been severed by the previous bite. There was no chance for the animal to survive.

Despite its chaotic movements, the tiger never diverted its gaze from Ray. It seemed to doubt who the real tiger was between the two of them.

Ray, having separated from the tiger, was in no better condition. He lacked the energy to disregard the tiger and could only express gratitude in his heart while waiting for the animal to succumb to blood loss.

After approximately an hour of waiting, the massive tiger finally ceased to breathe entirely.

Ray, witnessing this, experienced both happiness and astonishment.

"The vitality of this creature is astonishing!" he exclaimed, praising its resilience.

Still cautious, Ray picked up a nearby bamboo stick and prodded the motionless tiger. Upon confirming its death, Ray finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huftttt, tonight was exhilarating!"

Ray was fortunate to recall Hou Yunfei's teachings about true martial arts. Without that guidance, he would never have conceived the idea to bite the massive tiger.

With determination in his mind, Ray envisioned himself as the animal. He fused the intent from his passive state with the intent from his heart, creating a genuine tiger intent capable of pouncing.

Upon reflection, Ray realized that there was significant potential for future development. He curiously touched his teeth and remarked, "Ahhh, it looks like nothing is broken..." He nodded in affirmation.

After a brief pause, Ray pondered, "Should I add metal to my teeth? But won't they turn shiny black? What a peculiar appearance that would be!" Ray found amusement in the thought.

However, every body part he considered as a potential weapon was already adorned with rainbow pearls. Initially, Ray believed they only covered his finger bones, but to his surprise, these pearls were quite abundant. They coated every useful corner Ray discovered, from the tips of his toes and hands to the elbows of his feet and hands, and many more.

Deciding not to dwell on it too much, Ray set those thoughts aside and focused on gathering the harvest. Looking around, he felt a surge of excitement. "Heheheh, it seems today's harvest is quite bountiful!" With enthusiasm, Ray joyfully collected the ingredients in his vicinity.

...

"Come on, Garrett, show me your talent quickly. I'm in a hurry."

"Alright, alright, just wait a moment."

Swoosh!

Observing the lightning-fast movement in front of him, Ray felt a tinge of frustration. "Ahh, damn, why is it so difficult to imitate this!" he exclaimed, displeased.

The thin young man standing before Ray was accustomed to this and paid little attention.

Ray pondered on what he could do to successfully mimic the movement. Various possibilities flashed through his mind before he settled on a particular phenomenon. "Ahh, this is worth a try!"

The phenomenon that excited Ray was the one he experienced when he bit the huge tiger earlier. "If I combine my original intent to steal with Garrett's passive stealing talent intent while activating the tesseract and aura eye simultaneously, perhaps I can discover something interesting!" Ray contemplated in his mind.

"Okay, Garrett, let's try it once more and count slowly."

"Alright."

Ray prepared himself, focusing his concentration as the other party began to count.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

"Start!"

Swoosh!

A complex activation occurred, altering Ray's perception and cognition.
